Urheilulehti's (weekly Finnish sports magazine) Savolainen says on Twitter that Granlund takes Koivu's spot and Mikko takes up Heatley's position in front of the net. I'm assuming he watched the practice since he lives in Minneapolis, but I don't know where he got it from. He's pretty reliable, though, he's buds with Russo.

Here's the tweet in Finnish:

I always felt Heatley was better suited in the slot instead of in front of the net because of his shot. I suppose his non-mobility is what causes Yeo to continue having him stand in front of the net.

My prediction: Wild's offence finally starts to produce and we see an amazing game with plenty of highlight reel goals from Wild and mostly everyone has a great game, including Granlund who flourishes on the first PP unit. Bäckström gets a 9 save shutout. Heatley has a breakaway.
